Analysis of Senior Medicare Patrol Grantees’ Program Implementation

Key Information

Abstract

The Office of Healthcare Information and Counseling, under the Administration for Community Living (ACL) covers fifty-four SMP projects which represent states or territories of the United States. Additionally, ACL provides grants to the SMP Resource Center to support SMP activities. The SMP was authorized by the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriation Act of 1997 to recruit and train a national network of staff and volunteers to help “prevent, detect, and report Medicare fraud, errors, and abuse.” ACL’s Office of Healthcare Information and Counseling provides oversight of SMP grantees. Results from this data collection will assist ACL in understanding successes and challenges in reaching low-income and rural Medicare beneficiaries with SMP activities. This collection of information aligns with federal prioritization of advancing equity for all individuals served by federal government programs (Exec. Order No. 13985, 2021).

Generic Information Collection Plan for Surveys Using the Consumer Credit Panel

Key Information

Abstract

Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is charged with researching, analyzing, and reporting on topics relating to CFPB's mission, including consumer behavior, consumer awareness, and developments in markets for consumer financial products and services. In order to improve its understanding of how consumers engage with financial markets, the CFPB has used the Consumer Credit Panel (CCP), a proprietary sample dataset from one of the national credit reporting agencies, as a frame to survey people about their experiences in consumer credit markets. CFPB seeks to obtain approval for a generic information collection plan for these types of surveys. Surveys conducted under this generic information collection plan will support CFPB's mission to conduct research in areas related to consumer finance including research to monitor developments in consumers’ financial situations, related changes in their use of financial products, and the impacts that these decisions have on their balance sheets. All research under this plan will be for general, formative, and informational research on consumer financial markets and consumers’ use of financial products and will not directly provide the basis for specific policymaking at CFPB. The CFPB requests approval from the Office of Management and Budget for a generic information collection plan which will allow the Bureau to collect data by administering surveys which use the CCP as a survey frame.

Abstract

This information collection supports a web-based tracking network (the tracking network) to allow Federal, State, and Territorial regulatory and public health agencies to share safety information about animal food. Information is submitted to the tracking network by regulatory and public health agency employees with membership rights. The efficient exchange of safety information is necessary because it improves early identification and evaluation of a risk associated with an animal food product. We use the information to assist regulatory agencies to quickly identify and evaluate a risk and take whatever action is necessary to mitigate or eliminate exposure to the risk.

Administration on Disabilities Evaluation of Technical Assistance for Independent Living Grantees

Key Information

Abstract

A technical assistance survey (TA) to better understand the implementation and effectiveness of the TA provided to Centers for Independent Living (CILs), statewide independent living councils (SILCs), and designated state entities (DSEs) through the Administration for Community Living (ACL). The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, authorizes the CILs, SILCs, and DSEs to provide, expand, and improve independent living services for people with disabilities. Title VII, Part C authorizes funding to CILs. Section 711A(a) requires ACL to reserve funds for training and TA to SILCs, and section 721(b)(1) requires ACL to reserve funds for training and TA to CILs. TA is made available by the Independent Living Research Utilization program, the Association of Programs for Rural Independent Living, the National Association of Statewide Independent Living Councils, the National Council on Independent Living, and the TA centers that ACL funds, including the Disability Employment TA Center and the federal Housing and Services Resource Center. The goal of this survey is to provide ACL with feedback from CILs, SILCs, and DSEs on the TA approach, including what elements are effective, that can be incorporated into a future TA strategy.
